Athletic Injuries 207 is a chiropractic sports medicine course on the injury patterns weight training produces — the lumbar spine loaded by the squat and deadlift, the shoulder stressed by the press and overhead work, and the extremity overuse that technique errors, load errors, and training volume drive in predictable ways. Dr. Donald Ozello moves from the common acute and overuse injuries of lifting populations and the mechanisms behind them in the squat, deadlift, press, and overhead movements, through evaluation and diagnosis of spine and extremity conditions, to chiropractic treatment options including extremity and spinal adjusting, programming and load-management strategies, movement modification, and the patient education that sustains long-term training success.
Nobody sees more lifters than a chiropractor. From the recreational gym member to the competitive strength athlete, the barbell population brings its low backs, shoulders, and elbows straight to the adjusting table — usually with a training log and a strong opinion about not stopping. This 2-hour online course is built for the doctor who wants to treat the injury and coach the fix: what to modify, how to manage load, and when progressive training can continue. Every completion generates an instant certificate for your renewal file.

• Outline chiropractic treatment options for managing weight lifting injuries, including extremity and spinal adjusting.
• Design prevention and rehabilitation strategies — programming, load management, and movement modification — that support safe, progressive training.
Your Sports Medicine Faculty
Donald Ozello, DC, CCN, CCSM — instructor of this course — authors the sport-specific core of the series, nine courses spanning basketball through racquet sports, as a certified sports-medicine chiropractor who also leads the Adjusting & Manual Therapy curriculum. A 1995 graduate of the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, Navy veteran, and founder of Championship Chiropractic in Las Vegas, Dr. Ozello is certified in sports medicine and clinical nutrition and serves as faculty for CCEDseminars and Texas Chiropractic College. His courses read the sport first: the movement demands, the loading patterns, and the injuries they predict.
Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP brings the sports specialty's board credential — Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Practitioners — to the highest-stakes coursework: emergency procedures for the sideline physician (203) and athletic injuries of the shoulder (206).
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN examines football's turf toe (208) with a chiropractic neurologist's precision, and Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — board-certified in clinical nutrition — teaches dehydration and heat illness (213) where physiology and field safety meet.

Where Athletic Injury Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing
Athletic injury coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation — which is exactly what several state boards ask for. In Iowa, these hours feed the 36-hour clinical case-management minimum; in Rhode Island, they serve the 50-of-60 clinical requirement; and in Vermont — where practice-building coursework earns no credit at all — patient-care education like this counts fully under the clinical-focus rule.
Online-format allowances still vary by state — some accept every hour online, others cap distance learning or require in-person blocks. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.
Build Your Sports CE Block
Every course in the series is 2 hours at $40, so the automatic discounts do the bundling for you: any three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, and five or more (10+ hours) in a single order earns 20% off — the complete 26-hour series lands at roughly $416 instead of $520, with no promo codes. The natural pairings for this course are the training-room companions — 209 Exercise Injuries for the broader gym population, 206 Athletic Injuries of the Shoulder for the pressing shoulder, and 201 Hand & Thumb for the grip that every lift runs through.
